At this time, the academy was holding an annual "debate" competition, the so-called "classics" in the debate are the four books and five classics of the Confucian classics, all the students of the four major colleges can put forward their own opinions on the differences in the classics, and the first place in the debate will win the title of the first academy for the academy. The White Crane Academy has won five years in a row, which has also become a legend in the city of Jinan, and the creation of this legend is a woman - Wang Qianqian, she is the granddaughter of Wang Xiangjin, a professor known for his virtue and prestige in Jinan, she debuted at the age of eleven, and has not tasted defeat so far. Legend has it that this woman continues to have peerless appearance, and her talent is as bright and transparent as the bright moon, so she has won the name of Jinshu. Maybe the entire Jiangbei scholars don't know who Wang Qianqian is, but they must have heard of the name of Jinshu, and even the scholars who are far away in the capital have heard of it.

At that time, Tang Yin and Qinglou singers sang the song "Fishing Boat Singing Evening" became a swan song for the ages, and it has been talked about by the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River to this day. Later, Chen Yuanyuan, a peerless enchantress, came out, which made the Jiangnan scholars crazy, but unfortunately, he disappeared a few years ago, which made the Jiangnan scholars feel embarrassed.

And the scholars of Shandong also have their own legends, that is, the brocade book - Wang Qianqian.

The four literati have "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting", the qin and chess are partial to art, and the calligraphy and painting are important. Chen Yuanyuan and Wang Qianqian have also become world-famous double masterpieces in the troubled times of the Ming Dynasty: Jiangnan Pipa Song, Shandong Jinzhongshu.

Wang Jian stood in the crowd, listening to the scholars of the four major academies talking there, he was not interested, he was full of food, he was okay and moaned, if it wasn't for a beautiful woman sitting on the stage, he would be too lazy.

Suddenly, Wang Jian heard someone calling him.

The crowd slowly parted, and a figure was squeezed out of it, and this person was John Tang. It turned out that Wang Jian respected him very much, was very courteous, and sent a special person to escort him to Jinan City, Tang Ruowang heard that this is the most cultural place in the city, today there are a lot of scholars gathered here to debate the scriptures, so he ran over early in the morning, thinking of causing an impact among the scholars, developing a few downlines, and the future preaching road will be much smoother, but I didn't expect that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty also have their own belief in God, and the God they believe in is what Confucius.

Tang Ruowang was depressed, he came for a long time, and none of the downlines developed, when he saw Wang Jian, he ran over actively.

As soon as Tang Ruowang arrived in front of Wang Jian, he was blocked outside by Zheng Yuqiao's family. Wang Jian motioned to let him come over, and as soon as he ran to Wang Jian, he vomited bitterness: "Your Majesty, you people in Huaxia are too difficult to handle." Unexpectedly, he has been in Daming for several years, and he has learned the common "god" word of Daming: engage.

Wang Jian heard what he said funny, and asked curiously: "Oh, doesn't Yuanyuan like Jesus very much?" You didn't talk to her? ”

Tang Ruowang said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, Miss Chen admires my lord very much, but she is just curious and wants to listen to the story of the minister." A few days ago, every day I grabbed the minister to tell her the story in the Bible, and as soon as the minister let her join the church, she said that the lord that the minister believed in was weak and was crucified. How is her Taoist Taishang Sanqing so powerful, not only can move mountains and reclaim the sea, but also turn stones into gold, and let the ministers convert to her Taoism. ”

Wang Jian smiled knowingly, and then realized that he didn't know where Chen Yuanyuan had gone for a while. Wang Jian comforted: "Well, Yuanyuan is different, the things she has experienced may be thicker than your Bible, you go and try other people, such as these sentient beings, are waiting for you to save, come on, I am optimistic about you." ”

Tang Ruowang sighed and said dejectedly: "Your Majesty, in the past few days, the minister has finally developed a few believers after breaking his tongue, but he never thought that they were still reading the Bible with me the day before, but the next day they went to the City God Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha!" ”

Wang Jian almost didn't laugh when he heard it, he forced a smile, because he didn't want to hurt the hearts of the devouts, he used to watch his favorite movie "Caribbean Islands" series, and found an interesting phenomenon: the British discovered that the new continent would occupy and plunder the local resources, while the Portuguese were stupid, they found that the new continent first built churches and spread the light of God, they were just for preaching.

He understands John Tong's depression too well: like Christianity, *** religion is monotheistic, and the congregation only believes in one god, so the belief is pious and firm. Unlike the Chinese people who believe in polytheism, there are hundreds or thousands of gods in a sect, and people are used to entering the temple when they see it, and worshiping the gods when they see them. And it is very difficult to fool wise Chinese people to join the religion, because we believe in you, you have the spirit, it works, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, you get out. Chinese people are even so realistic about God, praying to God and worshiping Buddha are purposeful, and their desire is very strong.

Wang Jian comforted: "Don't worry, when I am done in a few days, I will build a church for you in this Jinan city, and then you will have a dojo and you can preach." ”

Tang Ruowang was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but thank Wang Jian for God.

Wang Jian was naturally not so kind, and built a church for foreigners, and he continued: "But you also know that now my Ming Dynasty has been in trouble one after another, and thieves are everywhere, even I, the emperor, have been driven out of the imperial capital, and I am also so poor that I can't afford to build a church, so you have to figure it out yourself." ”

Seeing that John Tang had a sad face, like a frosted eggplant, it was difficult to give money to make people believe in religion, not to mention that people had to pay for the construction of churches.

"Your Majesty, the minister's little silver, how can I have enough money to repair the church!"

Wang Jian said: "This is simple, I plan to build a firearms bureau in the horseshoe ridge in the south of the city, you are responsible for the construction of firearms there, as well as the recruitment of manpower, I will pay you silver according to the results of your research and development, supervise the good construction, I will reward you heavily, whether you have money to build a church, it depends on your own ability, I believe that your God will definitely bless you!" ”

Wang Jian knew that this foreigner's navigation and firearms skills were all unique, so he deliberately brought Tang Ruowang to Jinan City, in order to let him supervise the manufacture of firearms.

When Tang Ruowang heard this, he nodded busily, for him, making firearms was originally his strength. But he also knew that playing with firearms was a bottomless pit for burning money, and he said: "Your Majesty, this firearm is an extraordinary weapon, and it will be gone after it is burned, and it costs a lot!" ”

Wang Jian asked Qi'er to take out the 100,000 silver taels of bills obtained from the previous auction, and said: "Don't worry, I have my own way, you can use this money to buy gunpowder and utensils, if it is not enough, I will give it to you later, whether it is money, things, or people, I will give you as much as you want, but you have to remember that I only need the best gun, the most powerful cannon, don't take some tattered prevarication!" ”

Tang Ruowang happily took the bill, excited, as long as he had the full support of the Ming Emperor, why worry about not being able to make good guns, and then the emperor would not treat him badly, and the money for building the church would be settled. He had also been in Beijing before, cooperated with the people of the Ministry of Industry to revise the calendar, and made a lot of firearms, but he didn't catch much oil and water, and now that he has a salary, he doesn't have to look at other people's faces and touch nails everywhere. He was so excited that he praised Wang Jian: "You are the most generous, the most forgiving, the greatest monarch, and God will bless you." Amen! ”
